Her one of kind and limited edition jewelry is worn by sophisticated women throughout the world. Christine travels to Europe looking for special decorative components that add uniqueness to her designs. Her love of Mother Nature’s shell and pearl is very profound in her jewelry.
Inspired by her a talented mother and aunt who specialized in Couture that ranged from chic evening wear to elegant wedding-attire in a high-end Longmeadow, MA boutique, Christine has been designing wearable art since she was a young child. Her career started at the Farmington Valley Art Center in Avon, CT.
Christine expresses her work with rare semi-precious stones, shells, pearls, and fabrics. Her unique collections of baubles from around the world have been hand selected by Christine. Her jewelry is made in her studio in North Palm Beach, FL.
She travels to jewelry and design shows in the US and Europe looking for inspiration and unique components for her hand-knotted one- of-a-kind and limited-edition jewelry.
She merges her design skill with her Bohemian Heritage that results in an array of baroque treasures and has her customers desiring several of her sumptuous designs.
Her wide background has given her superior knowledge and quality, to influence and apply to her unique creations. Her technique is to express her work as an artist; and thus, creating each piece of work as a piece of art. Her designs are a joy to wear; and yet, would not be out of place in a museum.
Her beautiful designs are set in Sterling Silver and 14 carat gold filled. Some pieces are leafed in gold and silver which achieves a distressed metallic finish, creating her unique work.
